Messy Play Kits

Why Messy Play?

Children learn best when they actively engage with their environment and use all their senses. Young children are in a very concrete stage of development—they need to SEE and FEEL their world in order to understand it. By engaging in sensory play combined with skilled adult partners, they learn about a variety of textures, materials, and properties in the concrete manner they understand best.

Through Messy Play kits and activities, children will:

Engage with a variety of textures and materials

Learn about material properties and how they change (such as soft, sticky, stretchy, bubbly)
